That's fair. If one follows the path of least resistance, you'll end up eating crap.

All of the things you described are available, that's true, but any major supermarket, even in rural areas, will have plenty of healthier options available as well. Take bread for …

A vulnerability (that is presumably fixed after) is a lot different than an intentional backdoor. > I think this is a really bad epistemological stance in this case. Why? If one ca…

Are you sure the difference didn't mostly come down to being a tourist in temporary accommodation vs having access to a familiar grocery store and your home kitchen?

Backdoors in the OS or firmware? I always use Linux, so I don't care what software it came with. If you're suggesting there are firmware backdoors, I'd like to see your evidence.

What's so great about Huawei laptops? I've been using an Asus EliteBook for the last 3 years. Despite taking a beating, the build quality has held up flawlessly and with 32 GB of R…

I could, but considering how much value I get out of my laptop, I'd rather just spend $2-3k every couple years and have everything new. Thr value proposition just doesn't make sens…

The idea of upgrading a laptop may sound great at first, but I don't think most people really want that. After 2-3 years, my laptop is pretty beat up from carrying it around in a b…

The left? The authoritarian politicians pushing this legislation in the EU are more leftist than right.

For Android, Ironfox is currently the best option IMO.

Why are so many people paying for premium or even making an account at all? The amount and variety of free porn is already enormous.

That's an even more evil ad than the obnoxious and irrelevant variety because something related to my interests has a higher chance of successfully manipulating me.

I'm deeply disappointed in Mozilla's management as well, but as long as LibreWolf and IronFox exist, I still see it as the lesser evil.
